An Introduction to Broadlands Farm

An aerial photograph of Broadlands Farm believed to have been taken in the late 1970s.

The Cecil County School of Technology stands on lands which were once part of Broadlands Farm. Established by Hoagland Gates in the late 1920’s, Broadlands was a “gentleman’s” farm that specialized in the breeding and improvement of Jersey dairy cows.  Although much of the farm has been redeveloped, the hay barn and other structures have been retained and now house the Cecil County Farm Museum.
